[Podfic] Raise It Up, Roll the Dice

Summary:

A podfic of Raise It Up, Roll the Dice by GhostySword. Author's original summary:

“What prize do you desire?” the croupier asks, bone dice clacking in their black cup.

Lan Wangji closes his eyes for a second, takes a breath, imagines his heart freezing into jade. “The body and soul of Wei Wuxian.”

---

In the gambling house of the ghost king Crimson Rain Sought Flower, you can win any treasure--if you’re desperate enough, if you’re willing to risk enough, if you’re lucky enough. After six years of searching for any trace of Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji is desperate enough to come to Hua Cheng’s gambling table, and he’s ready to pay any price. Luck has rarely been on his side, but he’ll need it tonight.

Notes:

Notes:

please go leave feedback for the author if you enjoyed the fic!

let me know if you run into any trouble with the files/streaming, and i'll do what i can to help. if you have any advice or suggestions regarding ways i could improve future podfics with regards to recording or editing, or if you notice something obviously wrong (whole section repeated, strange awful noise in the middle), i'm all ears! lastly, i don't speak any chinese at all, so i would welcome any criticism or suggestions you feel like leaving on my pronunciation for the mandarin names and terms in this.
